There are many people in the world that are at war with each other and it’s a shame to see so many different types of ethnic groups that are so much different but on the other hand have a lot of things that are in common. Since the beginning of time there has always been some kind of jealousy or arguments between ethnic groups and each of their ways of lives can be a bit different which can cause hate crimes and such to each of the different ethnic groups. Psychology can come into play to help solve some of the problems that can occur between two ethnic groups. Cross-cultural psychology is a branch of psychology that looks at how cultural factors influence human behavior. (Shiraev & Levy, 2010) So in other words we as a whole can use cross culture psychology to help determine the human behavior and why a certain ethnic group can think about another one just because of the differences the two may have. Some of the differences between two ethnic groups can be religion. Not all cultures or ethnic groups pray or believe in the same God in the same way. (Shiraev & Levy, 2010) An example of this would be in the United States we have so many different types of religions that can have to do with the way a person dresses for church such as a Baptist church may not have a dress code but if a person was to go to a Catholic church a dress code is put into place. But there are many differences in religion just within the United States.

The two ethnic groups that are going to be discussed in this paper are going to be French Canadians and English Canadians. Many people may think that just because these two groups are considered to be both Canadians that there is not much of a difference between the two and that there wouldn’t be any conflicts or war against each other. The fact of the matter there...

Diversity and Cultural Factors in Psychology PSY/450
January 5, 2012
Cultural clashes, global wars, international misunderstandings, and ethnicconflicts have been occurring for decades. As early as the 1940s, constant hostility within the Middle East has resulted in suffering to human rights, education, and family structure (Huntington, Fronk & Chadwick, 2001). Culture seems to be implicated as the major contributor to conflict. The increasing modernization is strongly intertwined in this process, as it challenges traditional ideas, conservative values, and educational obstacles. How and why ethnicgroupconflicts occur will be illustrated in this paper by comparing and examining two ethnicgroups at war. The concept of conformity and its relations to the ethnicgroups will be explained as well as the kinship between social perception and social cognition. In addition, the necessary social perceptions for the resolution of the conflict will be discussed.

EthnicGroupConflict: North and South Korea
North Korea and South Korea have been at odds with each other for generations now. This has affected how each culture has developed from the other. North Korea is a strict communist regime, whereas South Korea is a republic. Conformity is different for each individual culture as well as social perception and cognition. What is considered conformity in one country may not be considered conformity in the other. However, in recent years there has been an attempt to reconcile the differences in the two domains. Leaders have met and tried to find ways to reconcile the tension between the two regions. The United States has intervened and as long as the communication remains open there may be some hope for some type of agreement. Furthermore, there are social perceptions that would need to be addressed before the conflict between the two groups is resolved.
The similarities between the two countries may seem obvious. They share the same geographical regions, and as far as climate and population are concerned, they are about the same. The similarities end there however with North Korea is a communist country and South...

EthnicGroupConflict Sudan
The social conflict current to the Sudan is traceable to the start of the Christian era at which time the Sudan exist as a collection of independent kingdoms often as small principalities in the geographic location of Northern Africa, bordering the Red Sea, between Egypt and Eritrea. In Sudan two distinct major cultures exists viewing the Arab’s, and Black African’s within the two dives are hundreds of ethnic and tribal groups creating multiple language groups effectively making collaboration between each culture a major problem. The divide separating Sudan exists in the Northern and Southern regions of the country the North consists of the majority of the 22 million Sudanese the Arabic speaking Muslims. The Southern region contains around 6 million Sudanese mainly the Black African tribes living in the rural and economically underdeveloped region of the country refer as the indigenous traditional beliefs albeit an influence of the Christian missionaries attaches the Christian faith to the South (Global Security, 2010).
The civil wars of Sudan began after the country gain independents in 1956 from a proclaimed condominium under a British and...

1. Causes of conflict in Sri Lanka
Citizenship Right
When Sri Lanka gained independence in 1948, the Sri Lankan government passed the Ceylon Citizenship Act of 1948.
This act granted citizenship only to those who were either born in Sri Lanka or whose forefathers were born there.
As a result, many Indian Tamils found themselves stateless.
Though the Indian Tamils have lived in Sri Lanka for many years, they do not have basic rights such as education, jobs, housing and voting.
In 1964, India decided to help the Indian Tamils who were stateless.
It was agreed that Sri Lanka would allow a certain number of Indian Tamils to return to India but it was interrupted by the outbreak of ethnic violence.
In 2003, Sri Lanka passed the Grant Citizenship to person of Indian Origin who had permanently stayed in Sri Lanka since 1964 or was descended from someone who had permanently lived in Sri Lanka since that date.
However, by then, the relationship between the Indian Tamils and Sinhalese were already very tense.
Resettlement
The resettling of poor Sinhalese peasants in the 1950s also contributed to the conflict in Sri Lanka.
The Indian Tamils were heavily concentrated in the highland districts as the majority of them are tea plantation workers.
Under the resettlement policy of the 1950s, Sinhalese peasants were...

...EthnicGroupConflict
From the late 1940’s repeated fighting in the Middle East has brought with it challenges to several family organization, learning, and human rights (Huntington, Fronk & Chadwick, 2001). In 1967 employment of Palestinian lands by Israel, the Palestinian intifada uprising of the 1980’s and the immigrant standings of some Palestinian citizens only acted to intensify the community, cultural, and profitable situation in the Middle East. The fundamental clarification following this drive concerning intensifying aggression and difference is entrenched in the yet difficult interaction amongst forces of social agreements, social view, and social thoughts that happens inside the social structures of the Palestinian and Israeli nations. The problems are much too complex to make a suggestion of a single, assorted justification of all the issues involved; nevertheless, the test of two extremely restricted topics can help to provide information on the disagreements, overall. Usually the specialty of how social agreements and transformation interrelate to affect gender roles in the family setting and how social awareness and social cognition influence the learning practices of the Middle East teachers can provide a window into the difficult circumstances in the Middle East.

...EthnicGroup ( Java Banyumasan : Orang Jawa of Malaysia )
In this essay, I write about ethnicgroup and why we cannot define an ethnicgroup by their cultural elements such as language, religion, customs and so on. I write this essay because there is a question about why we cannot define an ethnicgroup by their culture, whereas culture are one elements of anethnic. There is problem of seeing ethnicgroups as cultural groups; “the mere fact that two groups of people are of different culture does not necessarily imply – as has nearly always been assumed – that they belong to two quite different social systems (Leach 1954: 17), “Someone is Lue by virtue of believing and calling himself Lue and of acting in ways that validate his Lueness” (Moerman, 1965:1219),
First of all, I want to tell what is ethnicgroup. Before ethnicgroups, anthropologies who study colonial subject and society called society they studied as ‘tribe’ and people they studied as “tribal people”. The word “tribe” was replaced by the word “ethnicgroups” by the 1960s because; a tribal society is not as isolated as being assumed, tribal societies interact with one another, and the word tribe reflects Eurocentric views, a sharp qualitative...

Overview
The United States is known as the “Melting Pot” of the world. This is because of the many different cultures that arrived from many different countries. All in hopes of the “American Dream.” In this paper we will focus on the African migration and the Asian migration to the U.S. We will examine why these two groups decided to migrate to the U.S. and in what geographical areas they settled. We will then analyze and explain what influences other ethnic or racial groups had on each other, if any, once they migrated. We will also evaluate the power-conflict theory and how it applies to African and Asian groups. Furthermore, we will explain how the concept of multiculturalism might be applied to the two groups of focus. In conclusion, we will provide examples of these groups customs, beliefs, and values have-or-have not- become incorporated into American.
Migration
The African migration dates back to the 1600s. Dutch and French companies dominated the importation of African people at that time. England joined the trade as well in the 1600s. Local African societies were raided by Europeans and who took people by force. Greed and fear played a role in African coastal rulers’ involvement in the trade. These rulers succumbed to the European Slave-trade becoming the go-betweens, serving European Slave...
